Day one of Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s tour of Sweden has been capped off with a VIP reception dinner, held by their hosts Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden at the British Ambassador’s residence in Stockholm on Tuesday evening.
Following a jam-packed day, including that competitive hockey match, Wills and Kate stepped out in their black-tie best for the glamours affair.
Duchess Catherine, who is six months pregnant with her third child, cut an elegant figure the “Stephanie” gown by Erdem, which features a floral print, frilled collar, flared sleeves and is worth a cool $3404.
The soon-to-be mother-of-three swept her locks up into a chic chignon and added pearl-drop earrings for an elegant touch.
Prince William, who recently shaved off his hair, looked as dapper as ever in a black tux.
